1921 .] Birds of Alcudia, Majorca . 
and even over the Port of Alcudia, and also in the neigh¬ 
bourhood of Pollensa. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list on Barcelo’s authority. 
125. Accipiter nisus. Sparrow-Hawk. 
I saw a specimen on 29 December, 1919, in the pine- 
woods near the Cabo de Menorca, chasing a Thrush; and 
another on 18 March, 1921, in the pine-woods on the shore 
of Alcudia Bay. 
Observed by v. Jordans. 
126. Milvus milvus. Kite. 
Two pairs only inhabit the immediate vicinity of Alcudia, 
and one or other of them visited the harbour and marshes 
almost daily in search of food, and often snatched up refuse 
from the surface of the water to devour on the wing. One 
pair had apparently made their home in the woods among the 
hills to the west of Puerto Alcudia, and the other pair near 
the u Victoria ” on Pollensa Bay. I was unable to find their 
nests in any of the trees, and am inclined to think they were 
nesting in the crags ; for on the southern shore of Alcudia 
Bay a pair were building on a ledge of rock, on a rocky 
bluff, at the mouth of a torrente, beyond Picafort, on 
29 April, 1920. 
Obtained by v. Jordans. 
127. Milvus aegyptius. Egyptian Kite. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list on Barcelo’s authority. 
128. Milvus migrans. Black Kite. 
Not common ; examples were seen near Pollensa on 
9 February, 1920, and a pair near Alcudia on 14 April, 1920. 
Included in v. Jordans’ list. 
129. Falco peregrinus. Peregrine Falcon. 
Peregrines were noticed chiefly in the winter, when duck 
were plentiful in the lagoons and marshes, but a pair of 
large dark-coloured Falcons were seen hunting over the 
cv O 
woods and hills to the west of Puerto Alcudia on 4 May, 
1920, and a single example of the same species in the
